Sometimes “overnight success” takes many years of hard work and dedication. This is what Mike Koshatko discovered when he moved to the United States from Ukraine with just $300 in his pocket. The only food he could afford was ramen noodles. Today he is a serial entrepreneur with successful companies such as Ofirio, an innovative real estate website.
Mike Koshatko exemplifies a modern rags to riches storyline, beginning with the chaotic start of his life in America in 2014. He initially settled in Denver and moved across the country several times in search of a better life Country.
His journey included living in North Carolina, where he and some friends would hitchhike and walk seven hours to reach a commune. A stranger helped them find safe housing and allowed them to pay later. Then came North Dakota, where he lived and worked on a farm. Unfortunately for Mike, his isolation triggered a depressive episode. He then moved to Key West, where he started out as a salesman and soon rose to a managerial position.
But he never allowed himself to get stuck in a comfort zone. This restlessness turned out to be his greatest asset in the business. Moving on and looking for new and better opportunities inspired Mike to seize every opportunity he could get while learning lessons and skills at the same time.
He soon realized that if he couldn’t find the opportunities he craved, he would have to create them himself.
Things finally started to turn around for Mike when he moved to Miami. He met a real estate agent who encouraged him to get into the business. He completed an accelerated real estate course and became a licensed real estate agent just two weeks later. Mike jumped at the opportunity to work with international property management clients in Europe. Always looking for the next opportunity, he founded a vacation rental company.
But the real beginning of Mike’s financial independence…
